Golden Milk French Toast Recipe

I used to think French toast was only for special occasions like birthdays and had never actually made it myself. But one day I made some delicious golden milk waffles, and it occurred to me the incredible spiced milk from that recipe would be an amazing way to rejuvenate stale bread. This makes the most vibrant, golden breakfast, so I don’t wait for birthdays or special brunches to make it. The mix makes enough for two, but if I am making this just for myself (which I definitely do!), I save the golden milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use within two days.
